Harrisburg, PA – Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane
announced that the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Task Force arrested
Cory Clark – a 26-year old man in Thomasville, Pennsylvania.

On January 23, 2014, the West Manheim Township Police
Department responded to a report of a robbery on Fuhrman Mill Road in Hanover.
The responding officer came upon an injured victim bleeding from the hand. The
victim sustained a sever laceration during the armed robbery, causing nerve
damage. Clark was identified as one of the three suspects in this crime.

On February 12th, Magisterial District Judge James Miner
issued an arrest warrant charging Clark with the following crimes:

Robbery – Threat
Immediate Serious Injury

Robbery – Inflict
Threat Immediate Bodily Injury

On the morning of February 20th, Deputy U.S. Marshals and
Task Force Officers arrested Clark without incident in the 100 block of
Chesapeake Estates in Thomasville. Clark was turned over to local authorities
for processing. The other two suspects were previously arrested.

United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “We place a
high priority on fugitive cases in which the use or threat of violence against
innocent victims occurs. By working with our law enforcement partners,
communities throughout Pennsylvania become safer and more secure.”

The USMS worked with personnel from the York City Police
Department, York County Sheriff’s Office, York County District Attorney’s
Office, Adams County Sheriff’s Department, Latimore Township Police Department,
and the Pennsylvania State Police. These agencies are participating members of
the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force. Additional assistance was
provided by the West Manheim Township Police Department.

Albuquerque, NM - On 12/09/2013 a 2nd Judicial District of
the State of New Mexico issued a warrant for Michael Perez on 6 counts of
criminal sexual penetration of a minor; 3 counts of kidnapping; 3 counts of
intimidation of a witness; tampering with evidence; 7 counts of contributing to
the delinquency of a minor.

The United States Marshals Service South West Investigative
Fugitive Team (SWIFT) task force adopted the case on 12/09/2013. Investigators
developed information that the subject may be living in Tulsa, OK. United
States Marshals Service Deputies in Oklahoma confirmed Perez had been in Tulsa,
but fled to Colorado in October 2013. Investigators began searching for ties in
Colorado, and developed information that Perez was possibly in Colorado
Springs. Again the Marshals Service in New Mexico reached out to its counter
parts in Colorado. U.S. Marshals Service Deputies in Colorado found information
that led them to believe Perez had been living there with his girlfriend and
their child, but had left in early December. Investigators were able to now
identify Perez’s girlfriend and believed she had ties in Las Cruces.

Deputies and task force officers were able to find Perez’s
girlfriend but not Perez. Deputies knowing they were close didn’t stop. Perez’s
mother in Artesia was interviewed and claimed no knowledge of her son’s
whereabouts, but shortly after the mother’s interview Perez turned himself in
to the Artesia Police Department. Perez was taken into custody and booked on
the warrant. He is pending extradition back to Bernalillo County to face his
charges.

Conrad Candelaria commented on the arrest “with unwavering
commitment, the fugitive task force remained on the investigative trail of an
elusive and dangerous fugitive. The Marshals task force and its many law
enforcement partners from throughout multiple jurisdictions coalesced
investigative efforts to track and pursue a child predator, because every law
enforcement agency embraces the priority of protecting the most precious and
vulnerable---- our children”.

The U.S. military and university systems have a number of
things in common – one of which includes a considerable portion of our
respective populations being 18-24 year olds. This is an age demographic where
sexual assault is of special concern and education can make a significant,
positive impact.

I just completed a visit to Rice University in Houston,
Texas, and last month visited the University of San Diego. In both places, I
sat down with each school’s respective sexual assault prevention and response
staff and compared the various programs of each organization to those of our
Navy.

Many schools have a Title IX coordinator, a person who is
responsible for monitoring and overseeing the university’s compliance with
Title IX. He or she also is in charge of the prevention of sexual harassment
and discrimination, including the coordination of education and training
activities and the response to Title IX complaints. This is much the same job
that I, as the director of the 21st Century Sailor Office, hold.

The university systems also have staffs who care for sexual
assault victims in much the same way as our Navy’s sexual assault response coordinators
and victim advocates. In both university and military settings, these advocates
provide vital support as they reach out to and assist victims with their
emotional and physical needs after an assault.

Since we, the military, share many similarities with
university systems with regards to sexual assault prevention and response, it
makes sense to join forces. We can strategize, share best practices and lessons
learned, and dialogue constantly with one another.

It’s imperative for the military to share best practices
with universities, and vice versa, to share with those who are tackling some of
the same issues pertaining to sexual assault prevention and response. Together
we can care for victims and refine the services, education, training and
opportunities for Sailors and students alike. Together, we have an opportunity
to reduce the number of sexual assaults in our country.

Cleveland, OH –This morning, at approximately 9:00 a.m., the
U.S. Marshal’s Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST)
arrested Chevarrean Young, age 26. Young was wanted by the Cleveland Police
(CPD) for murder. The charges stem from a homicide that occurred on Dec. 18th
of last year. It is alleged that Young and co-defendant, David Baker, shot into
a vehicle that had used their driveway to turn around. The two struck and
killed the female driver of that vehicle. Baker was arrested by the U.S.
Marshals in Macon, GA on January 31st.

The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) was
given the case by CPD on January 1st and asked to help locate the pair. The
NOVFTF developed information that Young had fled the area to Cincinnati. The
NOVFTF reached out to SOFAST to help locate and apprehend Young. SOFAST
discovered that Young was staying at an address near the 9900 block of Mangham
Dr. in Cincinnati. SOFAST went to the residence and located Young inside. Young
was transported to the Hamilton County Jail where he will wait extradition back
to Cleveland.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said, “The long arm of the law
reaches out and grabs another violent fugitive. This was excellent work by our
counterparts in Southern Ohio. It reinforces the old saying, You can run but
you can’t hide.”
